San Francisco electronic dance duo Fans of Jimmy Century performs Hot Sahara debut dance radio charting single heard in The L Word & Ugly Betty.
About Me:
San Francisco's electronic alternative dance music duo, Fans of Jimmy Century, are releasing groovy, tasty tracks delivered with ease and unique appeal. Their unmistakable, distinctive flair is both charming & exciting. The duo of vocalist/composer Alicia Perrone and musician/composer Victor James bring with them much experience with modern music having played the San Francisco bay area club scene in several popular bay area bands, one of which was discovered by Ric Ocasek during his A&R stint at Elektra Records. But feeling a natural pull toward the electronic/dance genre, Fans of Jimmy Century was born in October 2006. See Allen Chiu live on drums and Monica Smith on backing vocals.
